Be polite to your neighbor.
A relative of Mishler’s and another man were allegedly examining a .308 caliber rifle in their mobile home adjacent to Mishler’s on Fern Hollow off State Highway 173, four miles west of Jourdanton around 9:30 p.m. on Sunday. One of the men allegedly pulled the trigger of the gun, thinking it was not loaded, inside the mobile home. The gun was loaded, says Atascosa,
County Sheriff David Soward, and the bullet shot through a bathroom wall and struck the victim on her porch as she was walking into her house next door.
No charges are expected because “it happens.”
Gunnuttery would appear to be a prima facie defense against reckless endangerment.
